[WT-support] RBN Freq Shift in WT Bandmap with K3

Please define what you mean by "way off".  You click on a spot reported at
28025.0 and the radio goes to 28026.0?  No one has reported anything like
that.  What type of receiver are you using?

The frequency calibration of your receiver could be off on 10m.  You can
verify this using a signal generator or even an SWR analyzer with an
accurate digital read out.

Of course make sure that XIT and RIT on the radio are OFF or zeroed.

RBN data is only reported to the nearest 100 Hz (truncated, not rounded),
so if the frequency is off by less than 100 Hz, there is nothing else you
can do.

73,
